Audio Issues – FCP Log and Capture XDCAM EX Files

[Ian Cook]

Hi Bill,

What camera were these clips shot with? I ask because we ran into a very similar symptom with Premiere Pro CS5 that seemed only to affect clips shot on the PMW-350.

Have you tried using XDCAM Transfer, if only to see if the behavior is the same? Or importing from local storage vs an SxS card? What type of media are you using (SxS, SxS-1, SD etc)?

The Sequence settings in FCP should have no bearing on what L+T imports or how it previews clips. I would first try (if you have not already) making sure you have all necessary FCP, QT and Pro App updates and then reinstalling v 1.02 of the plug-in. Do you have any other XDCAM-related QuickTime components installed on this Mac?

Kind regards,

Ian

Ian,

Thanks for your reply ……. these clips come from a PMW-350. The Sony XDCAM cam EX Browser plays the clips just fine………. I don’t have any additional XDCAM components installed, but all the software is up to date.

Were you able to solve your issue with the PMW-350 clips in Premiere?

Thanks!

Hi Bill,

In Premiere there was a patch that had to be issued from Adobe. The sped-up sounding audio continued through the whole clip. This happened when playing the mp4s natively (no re-wrap/transcode) within the application.

Have you tried reinstalling the plugin? Not exactly advanced troubleshooting, I am aware, but we should do it just to be sure. In the meantime I will do some checking on my system and see what else I can come up with..
